Came here with my wife and father in law a few weeks ago and the food and service was solid. Came on slow day so we pretty much had the whole place to ourselves, but I really enjoyed the food. Fathers in law got the poke tuna nachos and it was very good! Not the biggest tuna person but the flavor was excellent! My wife got bang bang shrimp with fries and the shrimp was very good! Shrimp was cut into small pieces and wasn't overly covered with sauce. Shrimp had great flavor and the French fries were very good. I got a steak bowl that came with rice, beans, avocado, sweet plantain, and a nice veggie slaw. The bowl was very good and the steak was pounded out and just very good. The bartender Tara & her sister were great! I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a new place to try. The food and service were great. Look forward to trying other things off the menu

Cuisine: 4 Service: 3…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 5 Overall: 4 This is the restaurant that now operates out of the former space of Finn & Forks. Unfortunately, the food is no longer seafood-centric and overall not nearly as good. Music was loud and the service was very lacking. Honestly, other than the frozen tasting mussels, nothing was necessarily bad. The smoky Chicken Quesadilla and Ahi Tuna Street Bowl were even decent. However, majority of everything else was just average at best and not memorable. To top it off, the prices are relatively high for what we received and the service was subpar. No one came to pour us water or take an order after we sat down for 20 minutes. Then a few different servers came by with our food. No refills on our water or check on our status. Next time we saw our server was when she came by to give us the check. Didn't even asked if we wanted dessert. Oh well, we will not be back.

We found this restaurant one late September day on our way out to Montauk…read more It is near the eastern tip of the barrier island and Dune Road. Beautiful location with bay views and the marina. On a Sunday afternoon, looked mainly like regulars coming in around noon. The lobsters and clams were excellent as was the service. The menu was varied for a Sunday Brunch/Lunch and a great value compared to other restaurants of its location type and customer base. Afterwards, we walked about 200 yards to watch the folks fishing off the rocks both into the Bay and the Ocean.

Five of us walked in and were told that the outside patio was full. However, we were lucky enough to get the only indoor table left. Looking over the menu, we started with a handful of appetizers to share. The dozen Raw Topneck Clams were clean and briny, just how I like them. Fried Calamari was excellent too, crispy and super tender. The Grilled Peach & Burrata was good, but the peach could have been sweeter. Unfortunately, the New England Clam Chowder was too salty and smoky from the bacon. It covered much of the clam flavor that I was looking for. Still decent. However, the Crab Cakes taste more like potato croquettes. These were really bad. Skip! As for the entrees, we were all very impressed with the House Burger. Talk about a perfectly medium rare cooked thick beef patty, nicely charred and juicy. The Pan Seared Scallops with a lobster corn salad was delightful. Lastly, the Vegan Rosa Tagliatelle had a robust garlicky tomato sauce, although we didn't really taste any cashew. Located in by the water with such a gorgeous backdrop, I guess the high prices were expected, and the portion sizes are not bad. Service was friendly when available, but somewhat absent at times. Regardless, I would be satisfied with a meal here whenever I'm back in Hampton Bay.

I did struggle finding something that excited me. It was your typical upscale but unimaginative menu. However, I am pleased to say that the food was delicious and the portions were very good. The wait staff was outstanding. Very often, during a business meeting at other restaurants, I have had waitors interrupt the train of thought ... or mid-sebtence swoop in and ask if everything is alright or if more drinks are needed. Here, our waitress did a great job of appearing during very good times and not being overbearing, yet at the same time being helpful and attentive. The atmosphere is okay. Inside is kind of typical of an upscale corporate event-style venue. The upper outside deck is fantastic with views of the water and comfortable seating. I would come back if I was in the area. Though there are better food options elsewhere in the Hamptons, for a sit down restaurant that you can do business in, it hits all the right notes. Prices are high, as expected, in the Hamptons.

I came in for happy hour during the week and ordered a bunch of the appetizers that were on special. The focaccia bread with whipped ricotta and honey was outstanding. The bread tastes freshly made and was so fluffy. The baked clams were hearty and delicious, served on a bed of Himalayan sea salt which made the dish feel elevated. The pizza we ordered had an extremely thin crust that was perfectly crunchy and had just the right amount of sauce and cheese on it. Trivia was about to start after happy hour which I wish I had time to stick around for -- it looked like the teams that were forming were some stiff competition. TL;DR - Don't let the fancy atmosphere put you off from trying this place, especially during happy hour!

We were at the Canoe Place Inn for a comedy show and decided to dine here just before the show. Wow…read morewhat an amazing meal and experience we had here. Our server brought out this delicious focaccia bread with a side of whipped ricotta and honey. The bread was seasoned with herbs and super soft and pillowy. If you do want extra serving of bread you do get charged for it. For drinks they have cocktails, beer and spritzes. We were there just after St. Patrick's Day so they had some drinks and food off the special holiday menu. I got the Captain's punch which was very balanced and fruity. Everything on the menu sounded great it was hard to decide what to get. The host and server both recommended their stone baked pizzas since they said the restaurant was known for it. We decided to grab it as an appetizer. We ordered the basic Neapolitano pizza since my husband isn't super adventurous in taste. It was light, very flavorful and just enough crispness. We ended up saving a couple of slices to take home. For entrees I got the olive oil poached halibut and my husband got the short rib special. We both loved our dishes. It was just the right amount for entrees. The halibut was super flakey, light and flavorful. I liked the earthiness the veggies brought to the dish paired with the delicate halibut. The short ribs were also very good according to my husband. He said that it was super tender and was really good with his mashed potatoes. We also got dessert of their doughnuts that came paired with a sweet caramel sauce and fresh raspberry sauce. The doughnuts were nice and warm, light and airy. It paired well with the sauces. We were so stuffed that we took the rest home as well. I would definitely recommend booking a reservation with them since the restaurant can get packed pretty quickly especially if there are special events going on in the facility. We were lucky that we went when they opened so we got a table right away without reservation. Maybe an hour later there were definitely patrons waiting. Everyone was great from the host to our server. The bathrooms in the inn was also very clean. Thanks for the great meal and hospitality. We would be returning again in the future.

Cuisine: 7 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 1 Value: 5 Overall: 4 This was a decent seafood restaurant, however, I scored a 1 for decor because there were just too many large flies all over the place. We had a corner table near the window, which was littered with them. We asked to be moved after the appetizers arrived and the flies started swarming towards the food. However, they said it was a full house and we would have to wait another 45 minutes. The meal was ruined regardless of any other factors. As far as the food goes, the Crab Cakes, Steamers, and Scallops were the better half of the meal. Calamari and Salmon were not bad either, but I wouldn't get the Fried Shrimps again. I don't know how they can fix their infestation problem. Unfortunately, we will not return unless we know the issue has been resolved.

We only saw the waitress one time. After waiting 15 minutes, she arrived to take our order and we NEVER saw her again. The potato purée with truffle cream and leeks, which we requested to arrive first hadn't arrived after what seemed like 15 to 20 minutes so we got up from the table and apparently they made a mistake and it should've been brought to the table and when it did, it was cold or barely warm. We tried to find someone to get us to help us, but after five minutes gave up and decided to eat it. You couldn't taste any truffle and we ate it just because we were hungry, but it was extremely disappointing. There were hardly any leaks on it and they were overcooked. Next, there was confusion over our entrée which we were splitting and we wanted to come out and we again had to try to track someone down to explain to please send out the entrée. When it arrived, the fish had been pounded down thin and was covered in breading and so much oil that it was completely disgusting and inedible. Instead of a beautiful piece of juicy flounder, we got a dry, oily thin piece, which was mostly breading and really disgusting. It had no flavor. Green beans which they put a fancy name on to make it sound special while they were overcooked and tasteless and the sweet potatoes were watered down. The rum banana was overcooked and would have been better suited as a dessert. We then had to get up from the table again because we never found our waitress so we had to go to the hostess so we can retrieve our bill and left a very undeserving 15% tip. We managed to find someone else to bring us some containers to take on the food that we hadn't eaten and in the end, I don't know why we bothered because it went in the garbage. If you want terrible service and terrible food, then head on over to Fauna . If you want good service and good food walk a few feet and there you have Flora. Flora is a small intimate restaurant that is decorated beautifully had amazing service and cooks their food perfectly. They treat each customer as if they are their most special customer. We felt welcomed there and we felt like they went above and beyond to make us happy. It was such a different experience going to that. We are shocked the same owners owned both restaurants. Maybe they should try switching managers so Fauna can learn how to run things more like Flora. I have a feeling that Fauna makes most of their money on alcohol because you certainly don't wanna go there for the food or ambience. It's noisy and obnoxious. If you want a peaceful restaurant, that's beautiful and knows what their theme is then go on over to Flora. Fauna has lamps with deer, antlers and wood that is dark and uninviting and strange wallpaper with different animals on it in the bathroom and terrible smelling soap. Their menu is confusing as with their music, which was a mix of salsa and a type of music you would expect in a Mexican restaurant. You really missed the mark Fauna.

When we arrived at about 6:30, we were abruptly told by the hostess that this was a mistake and happy hour was only from 5-7p. At this point, we were there and decided to have dinner. We were seated immediately and water arrived at the table. Although we had the address, the location is a little off the beaten path. It has a very nice decor, very clean and pleasing to the eye. We were given menus shortly after being seated and ordered our drinks. My brother ordered a beer and I got an Aoerol spritz. In looking over the menu, we both decided on the house ground prime beef burger medium which came with all the fixings for a burger and shoestring fries. The burgers came out shortly after and in retrospect, we should have gotten them medium well but they were both delicious nonetheless. We finished our meal and were given a dessert menu which was tempting but my brother opted out and I got a double espresso. Our waitress was attentive and accommodating and was very knowledgeable about what was on the menu, what had been taken off the menu that partticular evening, which desserts were available, etc. She did check on us during the meal and at the end of the meal to see if we wanted any dessert. They have a wine list which was presented to us when we initially sat down. It is a pricey endeavor but this is to be expected at a steakhouse. For those who did not want steak or meat, there were also seafood options-shrimp scampi and salmon. It was a pleasant experience and I would recommend and will return.

For cocktails, we got the strawberry lemonade, which was more sweet than tart, and the bourbon cherry sour. For dessert we got the smores chocolate mousse, which came with toasted marshmallows, graham crackers, and Hershey's pieces. It was good but too sweet for me to finish everything.
